No Dairy

One of my high school friends has chosen to go dairy free for his family and their needs  I will be posting No Dairy recipes for them.  There is dairy in a lot of food items. More often than not people do not realize how much dairy is used in every day food..

Some of the items that have dairy that you wouldn't think has it are
Bologna
Hot Dogs
Pepperoni
Salami
Sausage
Unless they are kosher meats. I have learned a little bit about dairy allergies when I have been cooking for other people.  If you are avoiding dairy some of the items to look for on the labels include
lactoglobin
casein
lactalbumin
Sodium Caseinate
Whey
Lactose
The last two most people recognize. The others are used in a variety of products to include cheese and meats as binders..
